My son Bheem was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in August 2018. One year later, in honor of Bheem and his fight to conquer cancer, I will cycle 100 miles as captain of Team Bheem. Our aim is to raise $10,000 to accelerate research for life-saving cures.

Bheem's cancer diagnosis was terrifying. I will never forget the moment our pediatrician explained to Bheem that he has cancer, and that there was a cure for his cancer. Those words gave us hope that continues to sustain us. We want every family who hears the awful news about a cancer diagnosis to also hear that there is a cure for the cancer. Funded research devoted to these cures is essential.

We are immensely grateful to the families, doctors, researchers, scientists, and philanthropists who blazed a path toward cures for ALL. Now we're ready to do our part to continue the push for more and better cures to all cancers.

Every Obliteride-raised dollar goes to lifesaving research at Fred Hutch — and the Hutch won’t stop they have cures for all cancers. Already, researchers there are advancing breakthrough treatments, ramping up prevention and diagnosis, and bringing together the best minds in science, tech, and business to save more lives, more quickly.

It’s amazing! But bold research takes money — and that’s where we come in.
